California Chrome carries SoCal horse racing history on his back
California Chrome will attempt to win horse-racing's much-prized Triple Crown at tomorrow's Belmont Stakes. He'd be first horse to do so since 1978 and the first one bred in California.
In the mornings at Los Alamitos Race Course horses are put through workout routines on the track. With the front-running race horse, California Chrome, stabled at Los Alamitos and a new one-mile track, thoroughbred racing is seeing a resurgence.
